Our Mission

Editing and proofreading are so much more than language correction. We believe that quality revision services directly contribute not just to the success of a project but also to the success of an individual. At Scribendi.com, we help writers reach their highest potential.

When Scribendi.com reviews an admissions essay, we help someone get into the school of his or her dreams. To say that this has a profound impact on that person's career path or personal life—who he or she ends up meeting, befriending, or marrying—is no exaggeration.

When we edit a journal article, our work can help get an author published. In this way, Scribendi.com is helping add to the incredible wealth of human knowledge. More than that, we are leveling the academic playing field. By helping someone in a developing country express himself or herself clearly in English, Scribendi.com ensures that the work will be judged on merit, not linguistic issues.

When we clarify business communications, we can help settle disputes, prevent misunderstandings, "seal a deal," or explore new, potentially lucrative markets. Our work has a pronounced and direct effect on the bottom line, and by extension, the economy.

And when we help an author with his or her first book, or first play, we act as midwives, helping to bring a wonderful invention of the mind—a creation—to life.

Yes, what we do at Scribendi.com is so much more than polishing and revising.

It is helping the world communicate more clearly, one comma at a time.
